Kusini Camp

Serengeti National Park

Each day your personal tent attendant will wake you with a fresh cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate - just the way you like it! A full English and continental breakfast is served in the main area before departing for your morning game viewing activity. A fresh plated three course lunch can be served back in camp or alternatively if you prefer to spend more time in the bus a special bush picnic basket packed with a choice of delicious cold meals can be prepared. Your guide will be able to find the best possible shady spot where you will be enjoy a private lunch in the middle of the bush. Once back at the camp you are encouraged to climb to the top of the main kopje just behind the main area to view the breathtaking scenery.
